Action Settings - CyberPower PowerPanel User Manual

Action Settings

Action settings allows for configuration of various event actions, including the necessary shutdown time of
the hosted computer.
After configuring all of the action parameters, and applying the settings, the Verify button can be used to
verify whether the user's configurations are correct. To test whether a notification is configured properly and
a recipient can receive the notification successfully, use the Test function on the Event Action/Notification
Recipient page.
Each action has its own Activate option to specify whether to use the service to send a notification. If No is
checked, the Verify button and the corresponding Test function will be disabled. The column displayed in the
recipient list will be marked gray to indicate that action is disabled.
Shutdown
Necessary shutdown time: This setting will set the amount of time the Agent/Client will take to shut
down.
The Client initiates the shutdown before power is stopped from the PDU or UPS in order to avoid a
sudden blackout. This setting should be configured to allow for the normal shutdown time of the
computer.
When a PDU performs a sequenced off/reboot action, each outlet has a specified delay time (delay-off)
before it is turned off. This delay time must be greater than the Necessary shutdown time required by a
Client computer. The Client will communicate with the PDU to verify whether this delay time is sufficient.
If the delay time is insufficient a warning message will display.. The User can expand it and configure the
outlet delay-off of the PDU or configure it in the PDU web interface manually. The warning message will
be visible until these options are setup properly.
Note: This function must have write permission. See Security/Authentication for more details. If the
Client is given write permission on the PDU it can setup the PDU directly.
